[The monster manages to get him this time, sending him flying across the arena. Luckily, he doesn't land in the water, but instead slams into the side of one of the still-standing pillars. The impact knocks the air from his lungs, but he recovers quickly enough to bounce back and start running up the pillar toward the next platform. Thank the powers that be for back quills.
There's still several seconds where he just stands there. Catching his breath and watching Shadow run from the beast, scrambling his brain for even the faintest sliver of anything resembling a strategy. It wasn't like he could run up those water sprouts to help without getting sucked in. He'll end up being more of a liability than anything. He was a sitting duck as the other two flew across the place. The monster wasn't even interested in him anymore-- wait.
Maybe, if Shadow drew him close enough to where he was, the monster wouldn't see him coming. He just hoped he would be able to convey his sort of plan by gesturing alone. He wasn't terrible at playing charades, at least.] Shadow!
